Advice for motorcyclists on getting a green light

In Monday’s Getting There column I answered a question for a man who was having trouble triggering a green light at intersections because his motorcycle was not “seen” by detectors. Turned out one of the detectors needed to be adjusted.

Another reader, Eric Weston, emailed with this suggestion:
“The trick is to put your bike into neutral, and drop the kickstand down onto the pavement above the magnetic coil. That will usually trigger recalcitrant lights,” he said.
